Action Research Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset

Share of a time you faced your action research with a fixed mindset. In the beginning I had thought what am I going to do with this iPad in an art classroom. There are so many projects we do that our hands on. I was very quick to think that the iPad in the classroom may not be successful for a specialist. It took trying some new things that I was not sure about how to use or how it would go over before I started to see that the iPad was not as scary as I thought. It did take some failure and picking myself back up before I started to feel comfortable. There is also that uncomfortable feeling of the kids know more about these iPads and apps than I do! Share of a time you faced your action research with a growth mindset. When was there a setback that you saw as another opportunity for learning and growth? Once I got over the obstacles that I shared above my mindset started to change and I felt like the opportunities to use it were endless. It has completely changed my mind about the iPad. Now some days I feel like how could I live without this device. I keep finding more and more ways to use the iPad. My latest revelation was in a floral design class I was coteaching and I thought this would be so much easier to show what I am doing in making this arrangement to 26 kids if I had used the iPad to record and Apple Mirror to show everything I was doing on the SMART Board. Wow, now I am innovating and implementing all the time!
